Seen better days

Sadly the economy can no longer afford even a cheap and cheerful store like Nixie Plonks which gave up the ghost last year. Here it was in "better" days.

Sand , Sea and Sky

This was Bridlington on Thursday morning. It was really low tide; at high tide where I was standing is under water.

'Tis new to thee

 

Meet the new Hull; same as the old Hull.

The Street of the Keeping of Hens

Hengate in Beverley is a busy little ratrun across town. A sign nearby informs the passing tourist that Hengate gets its name from the keeping of hens in olden days, well I think we might have guessed that. On Hengate  is a pub known to all and sundry as Nellie's; I know it's got a sign saying White Horse Inn, it's just called Nellie's, ok, just don't ask awkward questions.

A Removal From Terry Street

So the good news first; this is or rather was a Macdonald's drive-thru burger/lardcake establishment. It's on Terry Street and as you can see it's closed down. It seems it was unable to cope either with the clientele (the usual mix of heroin addicts, alcoholics, homeless people with little or no money, muggers, imps, pimps and banjo players) or the lack thereof. Whatever the reason it shut up shop pretty soon after opening and has been like this for a few years. So no more beef disguised as cardboard in an ersatz bread cake.

The bad news; KFC have just taken it over.
